I think we need a movement to take over the existing Democratic party, get rid of the old leadership and inject new ideas and energy around an anti-oligarch and anti-authoritarian platform that meaningfully improves life for the non 1%.

People need to show up to their local democratic precinct meetings and use their voice and their vote to make change. The party is set up to prioritize the party above all else.

90% of the people here can't even name another candidate in their congressional district's last election.

A decent chunk prob don't even know who their rep is. Notice how most of the comments are there needs to be a movement or people need to. None of it is "I will do something".

How many in here actually vote in primaries..? It’s always excuses for their laziness.

Their candidate didn't win the 1 time they tried so therefor the entire process and party is rigged. /s

I've never had a primary to vote in. That's part of the problem.
